Ladies & Gentlemen,

I have a group of people in the Hudson, Ohio area, Summit County, that are forming a woodworking co-op.

We are seeking a response from those near the area as to your interest, in helping with the build out of this co-op, and in becoming a member. We will also be looking for instructors to teach safety and woodworking skills.

We are starting out as a Shopsmith based center, and will be purchasing new and used Shopsmith equipment to get rolling. Our intent is to become a major woodworking center. I have been a Shopsmith owner since 1983.

Those interested, please reply to Tom Bean under this thread, for further information.

Thank You !!

You will be of very little value to me since you are in Ohio and I am in Arizona but please explain.

Just what is a woodworking co-op?

A farmer's co-op is a place where one can buy and sell farm related product usually at the "going prices". It is also a place to go if you need assistance on the farm. It was always a busy place during both planting and harvest times.

How does your co-op compare?
